Hutson brothers set for first NHL game against each other
The Montreal Canadiens visit the Washington Capitals on Wednesday in an NHL game.
It will be the first time Lane and Cole Hutson play against each other at any level.
Lane, 22, is a Canadiens defenseman who won the NHL's top rookie award in 2024-25, while Cole, 20, is a rookie defenseman with Washington.
The brothers say they are focused on their teams, though Cole expects the matchup to feel a little strange after a lifetime of playing against Lane.
Their parents, Rob and Julie Hutson, will watch two of their four hockey-playing sons face off.
Montreal is seeking a third straight win, while Cole hopes Washington comes out on top.

It will be cool, for sure, but it’s just going to be another game
But I’ve been battling him my whole life, so I kind of know what he’s going to do
This might be the only hockey game I go to where I don't feel like I won, and I'm going home a winner.
